Origin Chapter 837: Anyone’s heart

The huge impact of the volcanic eruption could not be sealed by the aura barrier. The aura barrier that had been laid earlier was smashed by the piercing air waves almost instantly, and thick smoke with a pungent sulphur smell shot up into the sky. At the same time, the ground began to vibrate violently.

The demon monsters in the underground space screamed and screamed at almost the same time. All the known words and words are not enough to describe the fear of this sound. It is mixed with infinite despair and extreme pain. Only the monsters were screaming, not a hundred thousand, but more than 200,000. They screamed at the same time, and they vented and expressed the same emotion. .

Although people's ability to bear is high and low, there is a limit after all. The terrifying scream of despair from the demon monster instantly exceeded the limit that Wu Zhongyuan could bear, and directly caused a violent shock and impact on his mind. This kind of shock and impact can never be positive, but extremely negative. The killings are too many, and the means are too cruel. It is not the ignorance of women's benevolence, nor is it sympathetic and hypocritical. It is just a matter of fact. The lifting directly caused the death of 200,000 demons in an instant, and whether they were good or bad, this was all life, and they died in their own hands in an instant.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Wu Zhongyuan's mind. The strongest thoughts were mainly three. One was Zhuge Liang's burning of vine armored soldiers. This was the most similar thing he could think of to the situation in front of him, but it was only similar. , there is no comparison between the two at all, because Zhuge Liang only burned 30,000 rattan soldiers, but this time he directly burned more than 200,000.

The second more intense thoughts are heart palpitations and panic. The panic mainly comes from two aspects. One is the fear of the enormous power he possesses. For the first time in his life, he is afraid of himself. The second is that he is worried that his actions will be retributed and punished by heaven. Even if they are bad people, they are still life after all, more than 200,000.

The third strong thought is to find reasons for myself, to find excuses, eager to excuse myself, to convince myself that it is the right thing to do. This kind of mentality is also human. Everyone subconsciously finds excuses for what they do, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception.

The first thing he thought of was that these people were all enemies possessed by the demons. They were ugly and ferocious. If they didn't kill them, they would in turn slaughter the human race.

For most people, it is very objective to think of this step, which is rare, but Wu Zhongyuan is the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains, his pattern is far beyond ordinary people, he is sober and fair, after thinking of this step What follows is self-reflection, no, this is self-deception, this is to put the matter on the line, to seize the moral commanding heights, and to pass on the consequences of this matter to the people of the human race, so as to carry out their own crazy killings. absolve.

And regardless of whether they will slaughter the human race in the future, even if they will, at least they haven't killed them yet. Massacres to prevent massacres are debatable in themselves. Even in modern society, they cannot be used to prevent crimes. And kill the bad guys before they kill them.

In addition to this excuse, what else can I find a reasonable excuse for my rampant killing?

Wu Zhongyuan can't think of it, because the enemy itself is a very vague concept. The enemy generally refers to those who are different from his own position. From the position of the demons, human beings are their enemies.

The thick black smoke rushed out, and the red magma burst out. At the moment when the magma erupted, the screams in the underground space disappeared, and it only lasted for less than ten seconds before and after, and these ten seconds For Wu Zhongyuan, it was like a nightmare.

There is a saying that life is unbearable. In the first ten seconds, he suffered the unbearable weight of life. These ten seconds will be his lingering nightmare forever. He overestimated his own Psychological endurance also underestimated the huge impact that killing more than 200,000 lives in one fell swoop would have on one's own spirit.

Because the previous impact was too strong, this time it triggered a violent eruption of the volcano, and the magma rose up to several tens of feet.

Escape is also a human instinct. It stems from the human instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil. When encountering something they don't want to face, everyone will instinctively run away. Wu Zhongyuan also wants to run away. Although the 200,000 demon monsters had no souls left, he always felt that there were 200,000 demon souls lingering around him.

Just before the teleport was cast, Wu Zhongyuan changed his mind and chose to stay here. As for why he had to stay here, he couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was just a man's responsibility and he didn't want to escape the consequences. .

He didn't have a precise idea of ​​how long he stayed here. It might only be five minutes, or ten minutes. The hot magma encountered extreme cold and caused a large area of ​​fog. As the fog became thicker and thicker, There were almost no fingers around, and at this moment, Wu Zhongyuan just teleported away.

He did not return to the belly of the giant tortoise to meet the crowd, but returned to a certain place in the giant tortoise's travel route. He doesn't want to face the crowd now, because he knows that his emotions are in a period of violent fluctuations.

Wu Zhongyuan appeared at the southern foot of a mound, and he could see the giant tortoise moving towards it. In fact, he wanted to see people at this time. In the deepest part of his heart, he wanted to see Master, who was also his The instinctive reaction of people, when encountering great changes, they will first think of people who can provide shelter for them.

Although he was restless, he knew that the master was gone. The second person in his subconscious mind was his parents, but his parents were also gone. The third person was his own woman. He may not need shelter now, but he needs recognition. need solace.

What my four women want to see most at this time is Wang Xinran, because he grew up in modern times, and it is the psychology of modern people, and Wang Xinran is very objective and can evaluate this matter more objectively.

But when Wang Xinran is not here, Wu Di has become the first choice. There is little difference between telling Wu Di and Wang Xinran. The only difference is that Wu Di may try to figure out his psychology and say what he wants to hear. , and Wang Xinran will say whatever comes to mind.

At this time, the temperature has begun to rise, but it has not risen to the level that the soldiers of the three clans can tolerate. Wu Zhongyuan returned to the belly of the giant tortoise, and after a few words with everyone, he teleported away with Wu Di.

He didn't take Wu Di far, but took her outside from the giant tortoise, wrapping her with aura to protect her.

Although Wu Zhongyuan brought Wu Di out, he was not in a hurry to explain the situation to her. He was hesitating, and he hesitated because he was worried that Wu Di would not understand him and would misunderstand his psychology because of his restlessness and palpitations. Fragile and moaning.

Wu Di noticed Wu Zhongyuan's expression was different and knew that he had something to say to her, but she didn't ask any further questions, just looked at Wu Zhongyuan quietly.

After hesitating for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan finally said it, including what he did last night and his mental state at this time.

Wu Di patiently listened to Wu Zhongyuan's words, and after pondering, he said softly, "The Holy One is a dragon and a phoenix among men, a hero of bravery, bearing the weight of thousands of stones, carrying out the actions of steadfastness and determination, and was extremely restless after the war. Usually, this is the heartbreak of soldiers and fire, also known as madness and epilepsy. Injuring 500,000 enemies overnight can only be tolerated and supported by the Holy One. >

Wu Zhongyuan sighed and did not answer.

Wu Di said again, "What the concubine said is indeed the truth. Don't you see those warriors and soldiers who have been disarmed and returned to their fields. Every time someone wakes up in the dark, their speech is incoherent, moody, panic and anxiety are countless, and some even self-mutilate themselves. , hanged himself."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. What Wu Di said was a standard war sequelae, a type of mental illness. This kind of illness is rare in our country, but it is more common in foreign countries. This is not because the soldiers of the foreign devils have poorer psychological quality than ours, but because the foreign devils have been fighting everywhere for years, so they have more war sequelae, and our soldiers have not fought a war for more than 30 years.

Wu Zhongyuan originally thought that Wu Di would try to excuse him, but he never thought that Wu Di would not do that, but said sternly, "Although the sage is a king and has a profound cultivation, he is still a young hero and has never experienced many things. It is also reasonable to be unsettled when encountering great changes. Those 500,000 demon beasts are indeed killed by the Holy Master, but the Holy Master has ever thought that from the moment you ruled the world, you are the Lord of the world, three The clan has abandoned the past, the clan lives and works in peace and contentment only because of your kindness and love for the people, and every warrior and soldier who died in battle has nothing to do with you, the merit is your merit, and the fault is also your fault.”

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't answer, but just reached out and held Wu Di's hand, which made him feel more at ease.

Wu Di said again, "Hugh said that Sheng Shang was not a person who fought bravely and ruthlessly. Even if he was a mad thug who killed so many people, he would definitely feel uneasy and tremble in his heart."

Hearing Wu Di's words, Wu Zhongyuan felt a lot more at peace. Everyone has a psychological limit. In fact, he was a little flustered before burning the 200,000 demon birds, and he killed 200,000 in one fell swoop. The Demon Race bird directly broke through his endurance limit. His current reaction is actually very normal. It would be too illogical to say that he had killed so many and yet acted like a normal person. Only people with a serious lack of IQ would think that his panic at this time was abnormal. of.

Wu Di said again, "The sage's house is kind-hearted, not weak in the face of the strong, not strong in the case of the weak, and the reason for this uneasy state of mind is because none of the demon beasts that you killed have the power to fight back in front of you. Suspected of bullying the weak, if we were to fight this battle, the Holy One would not have such a tangle.”

"It doesn't make sense." Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, Wu Di's words got to the point, this is indeed the essence of his entanglement, and the enemy has no resistance.

Wu Di smiled back.

"You're so smart, you can wake up the dreamer with a single word." Wu Zhongyuan laughed.

"Xie Sheng Shang praised," Wu Di also smiled, "If my concubine is stupid and stupid, how can I accompany the king..."
